Impacted Teeth Exposure

No worries, we make sure your smile shines

Exposure of impacted teeth is a surgical procedure aimed at revealing impacted teeth that are trapped within the jawbone without a pathway to erupt into the oral cavity. This procedure allows an orthodontic specialist to connect to these impacted teeth and guide them to their proper position.

Is it necessary to undergo exposure of impacted teeth ?

  • Impacted teeth that have not erupted into the oral cavity carry several risks and complications that should not be taken lightly.
  • Impacted teeth can develop in an improper direction within the jawbone, leading to problematic areas.
  • Impacted teeth can cause the resorption of adjacent tooth roots within the oral cavity, resulting in irreversible damage and the need for extraction in the future.
  • Misplaced impacted teeth can irritate the surrounding tissues in the jawbone, posing a risk of cysts and other pathologies in the jaw.

The process of exposing impacted teeth, step by step:

  1. Examination and evaluation: The patient undergoes a comprehensive examination by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, including dental X-rays and a dental CT scan.
  2. Exposure of the impacted tooth: Under local anesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision in the gum tissue overlying the impacted tooth and, if necessary, removes bone covering the tooth to facilitate its eruption.
  3. Orthodontic bonding: The surgeon attaches an orthodontic bracket to the exposed tooth, which is then used by an orthodontist to apply gentle force to guide the tooth into its correct position.
  4. Closure of the surgical site: Depending on the case, the surgeon may use absorbable sutures and, in some cases, place special packing material to aid in healing.
  5. Ongoing treatment and follow-up: After a few days of healing, the patient returns to the orthodontist for continued treatment, where the tooth is gradually guided into its proper place within the dental arch.

Choosing an experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon ensures that you undergo the treatment successfully, smoothly, and without unnecessary risks.

Choosing an expert in oral and maxillofacial surgery is essential; there are no compromises.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons undergo extensive 5-year training programs and receive official approvals from the Ministry of Health. Their profound understanding of the anatomy of the mouth and maxillofacial region uniquely equips them to handle the complexity of tooth exposure procedures.

Comprehensive treatment, from diagnosis to healing:

Beyond the surgical procedure of exposing the tooth, a skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeon oversees every step of the healing process to ensure that each stage, from preparation to post-surgery treatment, is tailored to the unique case of each patient.

Incorrect exposure of impacted teeth can jeopardize the treated tooth and neighboring teeth, potentially causing loss of the tooth or neighboring teeth in the future. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon has the required expertise to perform the procedure perfectly. They will expose the impacted tooth without causing harm, allowing the tooth to move to its proper position in the dental arch without getting stuck, thus eliminating the need for future extraction.
